Sinatra

What is Sinatra?

Sinatra is a free and open-source software web application library and domain-specific language written in Ruby. This lightweight and flexible framework enables developers to build web applications with minimal code and setup. By leveraging the Rack web server interface, Sinatra provides a straightforward and efficient way to create dynamic web applications in Ruby. Its simplicity and focus on rapid prototyping make it an attractive choice for developers seeking a more concise alternative to larger, feature-rich web frameworks. Sinatra's minimal footprint and ease of use make it well-suited for building small to medium-sized web applications, APIs, and microservices in the Ruby ecosystem
